I'm not much for social media. I don't use X anymore. I don't mind Facebook and I do get LinkedIn. I like Github and I'm known to Dribble. Tumblr has caught the attention of many people but you need to like porn as it is sprinkled around the posts.
Terry was born in Hitchin to parents Doreen who came from Newcastle and Eric, whose family moved from London before the Second World War. He has an elder sister Patricia. They lived in Baldock, a market town in Hertfordshire. He achieved the marks to get into the Grammar School at Letchworth but that's where his better judgement became lost to outside influences.
The years from age eleven to age 26 will not be included here for legacy reasons.
He married a local girl, Jacky and swore to himself that he would stay true and sort himself out. He had a good job in London that allowed him to further his knowledge of photography, a hobby he picked up during a very short spell at Norwich School of Art.
Many of his peers stated openly that his marriage would go the way of all his previous projects. But, he has always remembered and stayed true to the vows he made. As this is being written, he is preparing to celebrate 50 years of marriage.
In 2010 the couple agreed to up sticks and move to Crete. They had come to know Crete through visiting a previous neighbour who had also decided to emigrate, and holidays with the children, albeit on different Greek islands. A house was bought in the Apokoronas area only a couple of kilometres from the beach. The plan was to stay for five years. The village was beautiful, quiet yet so much to enjoy so they stayed longer than first thought.
Ten years later, still on Crete, they decided to return to the UK. So much had happened politically that staying in Crete seemed the worst idea. Unfortunately after twelve months staying in rented accommodation and of each of them searching for a place to live in the UK, not just a property, they realised that nothing in the UK was as good as Crete. They bought another property in the same village as before and carried out a lot of work to the property to cater for Terry's declining health. It is now like a real home.
Terry has kept busy helping his son, and his family, as much as he can and daughter who emigrated to Australia to marry and bring up two boys. He still loves the computer, his cameras and seeing his family and grand children, three boys whenever they can visit. Not forgetting the cats. Seven at one time but down to just two now. If the weather's fine you can usually find him doing a bit of carpentry in his garden or at least mending something. He loves Crete, but has recently had his driving licence revoked due to his disability and now relies solely on Jacky to get around in the car.
